Putting a Bow On It

According to deepsixer, Nocioni will be starting over Turner tonight. It said Collin's reason is that in the playoffs Turner will be coming off the bench and he wants him acclimated to this role. Does this mean he will be playing over Nocioni in the playoffs? One can only hope so.

Nocioni played 36 minutes the other night against the Magic, and that was about 36 minutes too many for a guy who was literally killing the team in the third quarter.

he wants him acclimated in that role? - so has Turner not been coming off the bench all season?; ha! That's an excellent excuse, if I heard one, believe Turner's ass will be glued to the bench. Plus Nocioni I believe has good stats against the Heat (a pre-playoff article even dared to call him the "Heat Killer"). No way DC will resist that opportunity to unleash that toughness against the big 3.

With Game 1 Saturday at 3:30 in Miami, Game 2 would likely be Monday or Tuesday. Since Flyers are playing a week from Friday, Sixers would likely play Games 3 and 4 on Thursday and Saturday (or Sunday).

For those who care, mysynergysports.com which has not been allowing new sign ups all year (at least not when I went to the site) even though previous year subscribers could use it is finally up and alive for new registrants at mysynergysports.com

I'm presuming so. I didn't actually sign up - just did my weekly check. If I signed up I'll get all absorbed and I have a pressing contract job I'm supposed to be working on after work for the next few days to get launched ;)
